Windows 10: Error message in win 7

I have been using this laptop for 5 or 6 years with Win7 that it came with. Lately several times a day this pops up and don't know what to do about it.

Error Message when updating from Win-7 to Won-10

Bree
I followed your suggestions (2nd Aug 19) for installing Win-10. Made the bootable flash drive successfully through the media creation tool. But when I attempted to upgrade and activate to Win-10 (64 bit) from within Win-7 (Pro-32 bit), I got the following error message:

Error # OxC1900101-Ox20017. " The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"

I read the diagnostics under this error number and carried out the proposed fixes, i.e. update Win-7, uninstall Malwarebyte antivirus, disconnect all external hardware, e.g. printer, scanner, external hard drives. I then tried to repeat the steps to do the upgrade through the Win-10 bootable flash drive as before. Got the same error message.
Appreciate any further comments and suggestions as to (a) what does a failure in the SAFE_OS during boot operation mean, (b) what can I do to solve it. Is this anything to do with the hardware in my computer? I listed these in my first posting above.
Thanks for any help

 

Win 7 and Win 10 on network

I have home network with separate modem, router, and WAP's. My Windows 7 computer does NOT list the Windows 10 computers on network computer list but the Windows 10 computers network list DO list the Windows 7 computer.

Turned off firewalls, gave permissions, shared drives. Nothing allows Win 7 computer to access the Win 10 computers.

Any suggestions for a fix?

 

Error Message when updating from Win-7 to Won-10

Bree, Thanks for your suggestions. Here is what all I tried, without success - so far. I did a full WIn-7 update including all optional updates to make sure that if any of them dealt with driver updates it might fix the error 0xC900101-0x20017. Got the same error message. I also opened the WIndowupdate.diagcab and used its non-professional diagnostic tool. Got a message saying that it automatically fixed update code. It came with 2 messages. (1) the Service Registration was missing or corrupt & it is now fixed. (2) the problems installing recent updates are now fixed. I tried updating to Win-10 again using my bootable flash drive as before. it downloaded the update 100% and went to restart Windows. But it did not power up . So I am presuming it is the boot failure that you mentioned in your earlier posting.
I opened the Setuperr.log and Setupact.log but I am not knowledgeable enough to interpret them. I am copying both as attachments. Appreciate your help in analyzing and suggesting a fix. Thanks
